Crafts/DIY: Giant Paper Roses Workshop

A couple of weeks back, I hosted a Giant Paper Roses workshop through @craftedlove. I super love this batch. They are so much fun, uber friendly and very talented. It was held at Vanilla Cupcake Bakery down in Bonifacio Global City, and that cafe is the epitome of cuteness. We used heavy crepe paper (yay!) in pastel colors, which really goes very well with the decor.

I will be having another workshop this coming March, and I hope you can join this time. Follow me at @craftedlove on Instagram to get first-hand news.

Crafts/DIY: Orange Jasmine a.k.a. Kamuning Paper Flowers

I tried my hand on dyeing my own tissue paper for my paper flowers and this is the first time that I used a Philippine flower as inspiration. We have a lot of kamuning plants (or orange jasmine) on the front of our house. I love it when they're in bloom because they really smell good.

A few weeks back, I dyed some tissue paper to give them a little blush. I decided to use this to make my paper kamuning. I know, I know, kamuning flowers are white, but I wanted some pink in it too.

I tried it out on a few flowers first. They turned out cute so I kept going.

Here's a bunch of them.

Now, with leaves.

Small flowers like these are actually a bit more difficult to make than medium-sized ones because of their size, but seeing them all together just makes it worth it. 

Happy Monday!

Crafted: Stamp Carving 101 Workshop

It was a sunny Saturday, and I had a workshop on the basics of stamp carving in Quezon City. The participants got this cute kraft suitcase filled with tons of stamp making goodies and loads of freebies.

I showed them how to make their own stamps using their handwriting.

They used mine instead. Haha.

Some of them took it to the next level. Talk about master carvers!
